To all whom t may concern Be it known 4that L'Mosns B. DISKIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York,

have invented a new and Improved Printing-Press, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to printing presses, and has reference more particularly to a hand press mainly intended for printing in two Ydifferent colors.

An object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efiicient hand press for printing labels in which the numbers or letters indicating the measure or price are printed in a differentl color from the reading matter relating thereto.

A further obj ect of the invention is to provide a hand press having a detachable chase which can receive ordinary type or a special late. p With the aboveI and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein full described, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding partsfin all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of an embodiment of my invention, a part of which is broken out to show the details of construe tion; Fig. 2 is an end elevation on line 2 2, Fig. 1 Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the slide or chase carrier; Fig. 4f is an end elevation of an inking roller and the arm carrying it; Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the arm with a fragment of the roller; Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section of the inking roller; and Fig. 7 is a plan view of the chase.

Referring to the drawings, 8 represents the frame standards which are united by a bed or table 9, preferably forming an integral part of the standards and disposed substantlallyhorizontally. Each of the standards has a substantially vertical slot 10 above the table engaged by a cross-head 11 provided on each side of the chase holder or slide 12. An adjustable connecting rod 13 binds each of the cross-heads to a corresponding eccentric 14 which are, in. turn, keyed to a driving shaft 15 bearing 1n the frame standards below the bed 9. A driving pulley 16 is provided on the shaft Whenthe same is to be actuated'by power; otherwise a crank can be connected to the shaft.

The chase holder l2 has an under-cut groove 17 at the bottom thereof into which the bottom of the chase 18 fits snugly. The chase 18 has an under-cut recess 19 adjacent each end, and in each recess there is a groove 20 forkthe type 21. The type is retained within the chase by screws 22 provided at each end of the grooves within the chase. The recesses 19, when there is no type in the grooves, are adapted toreceive a plate 23, as indicated in Fig. 7, which plate' has the ends thereof properly beveled to t into the under-cut recess 19 and which is retained in the recess by means of screws 24 provided at each side of the recess. This plate, as indicated, has the outline of a label on which certain type is formed. In this particular case, the plate has the words Price and Lot, with lines relating thereto. The type shown in Fig. 7 is intended to carry numbers which will print on the lines in a different color. It is self-evident that the number of grooves 2O in the chase may be varied in accordance with the plate used.

Coperating with the chase in the chase holder is an inking device for each end of the chase. A self-feeding ink roller 25 of the inking device comprises a perforated tubular member 26, at oneend of which a flange 27 is provided to form an abutment for a sleeve 28 of textile material surrounding the tube and which becomes saturated by the ink which passes from the tube through the perforations thereof. The other end of the tube 26 has a flange plug 29 which closes the tube 26 and locks the sleeve 28 thereon. vThe fianged end of the tube and the plug have trunnions 30 each of which bears in a head 31 the stem 32 of which projects into an arm 33, which arms are rigidly secured to a shaft 34 bearing in the standards 8. The head 31 is forced toward the arm 33 by a spring 35 mounted on the stem32, consequently the tendency of the springs is to move the inking roller toward the chase located within the chase-holder.

It will be noted that each of the inking devices has a crank 36 which is connected by a link 37 to the top of the chase-holder 12, so that a displacement of the chase-holder by the eccentric 14 will cause a displacement of the inking devices on their shafts 3l. To prevent the inking rollers from supplying too much ink to the plate and type in the chase under the pressure of the springs 35, a guide roller 33 is provided on each head '31 which, under the action of the spring, engages the bottom of the chase-holder 12, and this engagement prevents an excessive pressure, The ends of the chaseholder 3 are rounded so as to provide clearance for the inking rollers when the inking rollers are clearing the chase While the holder moves downward under the action of the eccentric,

Mounted between the standards adjacent one end of the table is paper-feed, the roller 39 ot' which has a ratchet 40 engaged by a spring-pawl 41 mounted on an arm 42 which is co-anial with the ratchet and free to oscillate relative thereto. An adjustable connecting-rod 43 binds the arm to a crank 44 forming part of the Veccentric 14, the crank pin 43 being adjustable by a screw 44. 'lhe displacement of the crank 44- causes an oscillation or the arm, which arm will move the ratchet when it oscillates in the direction of the arr-ovv shown in Fig. 1, and therewith I feed is only in one direction. The roll of (lil o table by a spring 56.,

paper 45 on which the subject matter is to be printed is mounted in brackets 46 extending from. the standards 8., A guide roll 47 is also mounted in brackets 43 extending" from the standards above the brackets 46 and adjacent the roller 39. The guide roller 47 has adjustable sleeves 49 which can be shifted thereon to engage the edges of the paper prevent any lateral movement thereof on the roller 4?' and, therefore, on the roller 39n The p er irom the roll passing over the roller 39 pressed thereagainst by a roller 50 rotatably mounted in a block 51 Which is adjustable 7vit iin a bridging member 52 by means of screv 53 mounted in the bridging member, f rereby the 'pressure of the roller 39 can be varied. @ne

member is pivotally conto one c the standards 3, While the secured to the other standlhis arrangement permits i"- the bridging,` member 52 to threadine the paper, or tor s ne case be. ted that iieed of the paper s y thU crank 44, and, therefore, oi is interrupted 'when the chase-hohl approaches the paper on the `s o feed during the co tact of 'Y h the paper on the bed.

Positioned on the othe end of the table is pertorating or cutting device 54, Which comprises stationary member above the table bridging the two standards 3 and in which a phishing member 55 is mounted, and which is normally maintained clear from The same is nente other end cai brought against the table a 5 secured to the chase-holder 12 adapte to move therewithE lt will be' noted that the member 57 will engage the p nching member 55 when the chase-holder ap coaches the table andevhen the feed et paper is interrupted e rllhe operation of the device is as follows: The tivo inlring rollers 25 are preerably filled with ink of dill'erent colors, so the type 21 is inked with one color and the plate 23 is inked With a diiierent colorn lt will be seen that when the' eccentric moves the chase-holder 12 downwardly, the inking rollers Will apply ink thereto and clear the chase-holder as the saine approaches the paper. After contacting with the paper, the chase-holder returns to its normal or upper position, causing the arras carrying the rollers to swing to their position, shown in dotted line in Fig.i 1, consequently applying ink to the type and plate in the chase.. Therefore, it Will be noted that ink is applied twice by the inking device, and, thus, is more uniormlydistributed to the type and plate carried by the chase` By providing the adjustable connecting rod 43 and crank pin therefor, the length yfed can be varied, and therefore the sise ot paper fed from the roller 15 inter lttently can be varied. T icreason for that is to per mit the printing ot' labels of ditierent lengths in accordance with the pi ose for Which they are designed. The co neet/ing rod 13, which is also adjustable, permits the utilization et the printing press with paper oi different thicknesses; that is, it can be as efficiently used on pasteboard as on thin paper. lt be iuri er in my press the iniring device simu applies different colors to the pri. tace of the press; that is to say, to i l*vpc carried by the chase,
